The common practice in enginnering is to use exponents w/ a power of 3. 10E9 isn't actually all that wrong, along w/ 100E9. But 1000E9 is beter written as 1E12.
I'll second that db corruption. A small company I work for maintains a 50MB Quickbooks file, and the other day the accountant reported to me that she's frequently lost entire days worth of data. She had just about had it when it chewed up a month's worth of data. Shame on me for not providing a backup system earlier, but shame on QB for allowing it to happen.
It's too bad this was by an anon-coward, but this deserves to be said. WinXP comes w/ edlin *still*. VBS scripts aren't just for macro viruses. Windows/office, or any ActiveX component can be *entirly* scripted from a vbs script. Don't like visual basic? Maby javascript? Don't like those? use ActiveState's Perl or Python. XP even offers the option to *SIGN* scripts, and deny any unsigned script the chance of running.
Linux has it's strengths, but Micrsoft has packed a bunch of goodies into WinXP.
Here @ NEU, some professors are part of 'TeachScheme', which is an effort to push Scheme into CS curricula. They have actually put togeather a scheme implementation, DrScheme, which provides an excellent interactive environment for writing and learning scheme http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/ Oh, and it's GPL too. runs on Mac/Windows/linux.
IIRC (i could be wrong) 802.11b will automatically figure out overlapping zones, and repeat accordingly -- It might be a few hops inbetween, but the ISP might be willing to offer service to anyone in between who just happens to be near one of the APs. The ISP may want to give you somewhat of a discount if both parties agree to put some money into the project...
if they're both openssh make sure the permissions are correct. authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 have to be 600, and id_rsa, id_dsa, & identity also need to be 600. This has drove me batty enough times to have this be the first thing I check;)
I'm suprized that this has never been brought up, but why not IRC? IRC is a rfc standard, IIRC. IRC has been around for eons and eons. It handls message routing, distributed servers, and it has withstood the test of time. (Although there are some abusers, a la efnet's trouble's)
The only difference between IRC and IM is that IM favors a one-to-one model, and IRC favors a Room-based model. But AOLIM has chat rooms where multiple people can be in. On the other hand, IRC has/query, or/msg user message, etc.
Why on earth hasn't IRC emerged as the chat standard?
PI IS EXACTLY 3
now that i have your attention:)
It's geek sweat you know. This was proved by Lisa Simpson. What better way to acculate geek sweat than from a bunch of kids on #MarriedAndFlirting ?
But usually all source files have/* This file is licenced under the GPL */ There's no way they a user could look at the source and not see that license.
Unfortunatly, i'm not a tcl programmer, but vtcl looks a lot like Visual basic, except it's tcl. The whole IDE is written in tcl itself, so of course you get the source. I poked around with it, and looked pretty nifty, but alas, i'm not a TCL coder, so I woulden't be able to tell you how good it is.
Here's an exmaple of the vastness of the internet.
We've had Monopoly (the board game, not microsoft) for many years, but have since lost the rulebook. After a quick search on google, I found a copy of the rulebook in pdf format.

Hey, Shoulden't that be Extra Terrestrial Intelligence?
Or mabey they really haven't found any on Earth ...

For those people who have dreams within dreams ....
When are you sure you have control of the correct world?
Perhaps this is how one can 'crack' the matrix ..... ;)
I thought the general trend in the US Government was to take away information...
We woulden't want those pesky terrorists reading our laws now ...

I have seen edlin.com living somewhere in system32 on either Professional, and/or Home Edition of XP.
On the other hand, vi is on almost every unix system (as well as ed) so I guess it's only fair...
On a completely different note, MS now locks Mozilla out of msn.com.
They claim you need a browser upgrade...

I do believe a similar thing happened to the CDDB ...
we tried this here.
if there is a <script&> tag in the message, ie seems to still execute it. Here is a test eml file.

From me@you.org
Subject: test message
From: the devil <devil@evil.org>
To: you <you@yourcomputer.org>
Content-Type: text/html

window.open('http://www.microsoft.com');

This is a test eml file. tell me if you see it as plain text.

I guess slashdot needed to DoS more international links for operation theta ...
Want to cut their internet access?
Easy.
Call it a DMCA violation. The ISP is required to cut access as soon as they are notified. No trial, no judge, no red tape, no waiting.
The patent abstract only seems to imply that this will cover remote recovery/maintence of PC's.
..which, Hard Drive recovery agencies have been doing for a while, I'd imagine.
Or more importantly, what if you need to check Slashdot!!?!?!

Wern't we all saying that RIAA woulden't be happy until they could beam the music right into our ears ... ? now the MPAA is all happy ;)

Microsoft is so fast, they already have a patch for IE, dated April 2, 2001 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/
